Yep, Russia has put much less Americans to the space than the USA. But do you know that all the American astronauts still use Russian rockets to get to the outer space sine the end of the US shuttle programs? The USA still have their citizens on the orbit but.. they are being send there by Russia. You had only 6 shuttles and 2 of them (33%) had blown up and killed the whole crews. Nothing to be proud about.
Even a car-driven rocket launcher here can be used to send a satellite to the space:
That's not a staged video or a Hollywood movie. The Topol-M missile track launches a commercial satellite to the orbit. That's a first world technology.
